Father McTighe About to Introduce
Catholic TeschinEs.
pIrTsBuRa, Pa, Oct. 10.--The Monon-
gahela school has formally passed under
the control ff Father McTighe IS prin-
cipal. 1t is said on reliable AUTHORITY
that after the pupils of the parochisl
school are formally taken into the Mon.
ongahela public school Father McTighe
will introduce q new feature. He will
dismiss school as usual when the after
noon studies are over and then half an
hour Of religious instruction.. Catholic,
OF course, for all who remain.
Should the, prlncipalship Of Father Nc
Tighs prove successful In tho Monon-
gahela school and the nuns whom he win
introduce as teachers be deemed eligible
under the law, 1t is very well understood
that strenuous efforts to elect priests to
the p~rincipalships OF the schools In the
First, Fifth, Ninth and Tenth, and tvs
wards on the south side will be made.
AS the Catholic population largely out
numbers the protestant in each Of these
wards there is but little doubt these ef-
forts will be ultimately successful. The
attendance at the parochisl schools now
largely exceeds that at the public.
